Don't bet money on it. That dude looked fit - like he actually trains on a bike. He passed me with his iPod buds in and I think I dropped right out of his consciousness. It would have been fun to pass him again, but just a few hundred feet in front of us was this hateful trolley crossing:



That's why I turn off. My Trucker could hit that at speed just about anywhere. And as many good laughs as I get from the Spandex crowd, I would not want to be a part of that dude getting track rash. I did pass up my two normal turns. The turn I made was the last chance before the tracks. He may have been slowing for them. I really didn't see any visible signs of "Legs Like God" getting tired.

BTW...this vid is actual speed. That's what 25 looks like without the editing enhancements.
